review 1: This volume wandered too much. The description of the rock ledges, the secondary characters, the "presence" of the killer before we even knew about him, and then his not appearing till the end. All interviewing, very little action. Just too much telling us, rather than showing u...

review 1: I read Dog On It and enjoyed it so when I saw Paw and Order on the shelf at the library, I decided I needed to pick it up. After all, I am a sucker for such clever titles.Bernie is a private eye who has Chet, a K-9 school drop-out as his side kick. They were on their way back h...

review 1: Chet, the German Shepherd, tells this story, the short story that led to the series that begins with Dog On It, which I enjoyed. Chet’s (and Quinn’s) voice is consistently fine canine perspective, particularly what are matters of importance (crullers!) and what are not (the huma...

review 1: Oh, Chet.Oh, Bernie.I love you guys. Fun, quick read, full of Chet's one-of-a-kind insights. During this story, Chet learns what hors d'oeuvres are. This short story served as an hors d'oeurve for me until I can sink my teeth into the full-course Paw & Order. (I can hear Chet now...
